Techniques and / or related methods for laser ablation / scribing of coatings in pre-laminated assemblies and post-laminated assemblies

摘要

Certain exemplary embodiments of the invention may be used to slow or prevent corrosion of the coating, pre-laminated assembly or post-laminated assembly, pre-assembled insulated glass unit or post-assembled insulated glass unit, and / or Or a technique for laser ablating / scribing a peripheral edge of a coating (e.g., low-emissivity, mirror, or other coating) on a glass or other substrate in another product. will be. For example, a laser of 1064 nm or other wavelength, in a metal and / or metallic layer (s) in a low-emissivity or other coating provided to an already-laminated or already-assembled insulating glass unit or other product, eg For example, it can be used to scribe a line around its periphery. The scribe line reduces electron mobility from the center of the coating to the surrounding environment, thus slowing and sometimes even preventing the onset of electrochemical corrosion. Related products, methods and kits related to this are also contemplated herein.
